• Reacts in contact with water by crystallization
• Does not shrink and crack after curing
• Can be applied on a wet substrates
• Forms micro porous coating which allows breathing of the substrate
• Can be applied both indoors and outdoors.
• Resists both high positive (Hydrostatic) water pressure (e.g. Swimming Pool)
  and high negative (Underground) water pressure (e.g. Basement).
• Non-toxic, non-dangerous and odourless.
• It acts by perfectly plugging pores in masonry.
• Approved for use in drinking water tanks, reservoirs.
• It has very good resistance to aggressive, non-mineralised water.
• Can be covered by renderings, micro-porous paints and tiles (do not use paints with a closed film, e.g. enamel paints.
• Can be applied on wet supports, Use the humidity of the support to key into
  in to the support.

Usage

• TECHFORCE is used as a protective, waterproofing system in buildings (Super structures and Substructures).
  For sealing under positive water pressure
  
• Drinking water reservoirs, water tanks- Pits of all kinds
• Agricultural silos  
• Swimming pools
• Sea water pools
  
  For sealing under negative water pressure
  
• Cellars, basements
• Parking areas
• Lift Shafts
• Garage grease pits
• Galleries, tunnels and sewers
• Below-grade walls

Direction for use

Surface Preparation

• Surface preparation is the most important step before application to get results and to avoid failure.
• The substrate must be clean and free of dirt, paint, grease, sludge, fungus, cement coatings, blistered and loose plasters etc.
• Moisture is necessary for the effectiveness of TECHFORCE. Therefore, wash & saturate the surface with water before applying coating, however, streaming water must be diverted by creating drains.
• For appplication on dry or hot walls, wet the walls with water thoroughly before application. Avoid application under direct sunlight.
• Do not apply in rain or if there is risk of freezing.
• Before application of TECHFORCE, seals the cracks with Polysulphide Sealant TECHSEAL RDL-940. After the application of PRIMER RDL- PRIMER RDL – 942.Tool the sealant to a uniform leveled surface

Application Method

• Apply the first coat of TECHFORCE at 1kg/sq.m. laying it on generously in
  order to plug the pores and shrinking cavities.
• After 24 hours, dampen then apply the second coat at 0.800 kg/sq.m.
• Apply a third coat in the same way, if necessary.
• Moisten or wet the surface between two coats.
• Mixed material can be applied with a small or large brush or with a trowel.
• One coat is sufficient for a good protection against dampness. 2 or 3 coats are necessary if water pressure is very high.. It wil resist a negative water pressure upto 1 kg//sq.cm.

Mixing
Pour clear water in a bucket and add TECHFORCE slowly obtaining thick creamy paste. It is advisable to mix with electrical stirrer at slow speed until a homogenous paste without lumps is obtained. The consistency of the mixture should enable a good and smooth application by brush. If necessary, the mixture can be diluted slightly by mixing 1% clean water to facilitate the smoothening of second coat.

Table of consumption depending upon water pressure

• Do not apply on dry or hot substrates or direct sunlight
• Do not apply in rain or if there is a risk of freezing, i.e. temperature lower
  than 4°C.
• TECHFORCE coating is cement based product therefore, must be used as a
  pasty cement coating and not as white wash.
• Shelf life of the unmixed material is one year from the date of manufacture.
• Store in cool and dry place
• In case of application in very hot or windy weather, plan to dampen the TECHFORCE during its setting to avoid drying too fast, which would cause the coating to ‘burn’.
  

Packing
25 kg


Note
It is recommended that this coating should be overcoated with microporous paints,which will not disturb the breathing of TECHFORCE a well as wall.
